I’m very picky about the black metal that I like. I have no time to even consider the mainstream “version” which I despise. Some bands/people get it, some don’t. I was raised by the true wolves of this art like the old Bathory, old Mayhem, and stuff like Sarcofago. These Germans in Ungod [...]

Found out about these maniacs in 2007 at the start of this whole “death metal revival”. We in the Gravehill camp even wrote to Graveyard and traded shirts, patches and CDs. There was even talk of a future split release. Through the years, as always happens with some, we have lost track of [...]

From the ashes of the mighty Centinex rose this band in 2006. A raging demo, 2 killer albums “Servants of the Unlight” and “Hellsworn”, and splits with Absu and Paganizer brought these maniacs towards the top of the old school death metal food chain. Now “Death Infernal” is not a bad album at [...]

These French lunatics unleash some sick and pulverizing death metal on this EP. They put out some fucking ruthless old school death metal on their first 2 demos (”Rising From Purulence” in 2009 and “Necrollections” in 2010) so I was looking very forward to this record here. There are 4 songs. All short [...]

These creeps from Denmark don’t fuck around. This is some INTENSE death metal found here. Very angry and hate filled on the first song “B.A.T.H.O.R.I.” A slow/mid paced build up that then blasts into full blackened death banging terror. There is an early Morbid Angel romp to these guys. Maybe even some early [...]

Thanks ONCE AGAIN to my German brother Ralf Hauber of Mystical Music Mag for getting me on board with this killer band. And ONCE AGAIN, Spain strikes with another deadly old school death metal unit. YES this EP was put out back in late 2010, but I don’t care, I’m late in discovering [...]

Say what ya want about Don Decker (singer of Anal Blast who passed away in 2009) but he was an original and quite a character. My run ins with him were always positive, and he was always super nice to me. Now some of his old Anal Blast boys have moved on with [...]

Obviously a band coming from Stockholm, Sweden that is influenced by older metal and loves horror movies is probably going to sound much like the greats that came before: Nihilist/Entombed, Carnage, Dismember. There is nothing wrong with that. Plus I NEVER get bored of this sound! Sorry, it just won’t happen. Bastard Priest [...]

Here is an old write up that I did a few years ago for my friends webzine called The Werkshed. I had to re-post this since I’m a HUGE Slaughter Lord fan and everyone should own this release!
SLAUGHTER LORD “THRASH ‘TILL DEATH 86-87″

This “best of” by SLAUGHTER LORD came out in 1998, [...]

These maniacs from The Netherlands have been getting plenty of spins over at Casa De Abominator the last few years. Their killer 2009 smasher of an album “Dystopian Prophecies” made my ears bleed and my head fall off with the crushing display of old school death metal madness. They continue the brutality here [...]
